There are several different ways to study abroad, which are broadly divided into two categories: public and self-funded.

The main ways to study abroad on public assignment are:

These programs are targeted and have a more definite duration, generally ranging from 6 to 12 months, and a few have 24 or even longer.

Because it has the backing of the country's ** to pay for the basic living expenses during their study abroad, it is the most ideal choice for international students. But only a few tens of thousands of good scholars in the country have access to them.

2) Short-term to medium- and long-term training and study abroad at the discretion of the unit, as a preparation for the long-term development of the unit and Sino-foreign cooperation projects. The winners of this kind of opportunity are already the backbone of the business of the unit and are the key training objects. Their learning has a framework for future business to follow, with a clear direction.

Not only is it a promotion for professional advancement, but also obvious to the financial benefits of the individual, and it is the best choice to retain the position and all the benefits, as well as the length of service, and even paid study.

The main ways to study abroad at your own expense are:

1) School connection: through domestic schools to cultivate and recommend top students to study in foreign counterpart schools, or exchange students with each other, such connections are mostly between middle schools and "2+2" universities, especially Sino-foreign joint venture schools. Because it is planned and carried out step by step, the preparation of students is more sufficient, especially in terms of language and culture, and students are less affected by cultural differences after going abroad.

And because of the more systematic and unified management, the care for students is more thoughtful.

2) Intermediary company contact: through qualified and experienced companies specific ** different cases. Many of the company's business backbones have study abroad experience, have a personal understanding of the study and living environment of foreign countries, and can help international students in an all-round way.

For example, in the early stage, we provide language and study abroad training for students, find schools and handle application procedures on behalf of students during the application process, and help in job search, immigration, tourism, family visits, financial management, car and house purchase, and legal affairs in the later stage, and a series of services to adapt to the unique systems and systems of each specific country.

Personal contact: Most of them are to obtain language proficiency certification through exams, plus the student's highest degree certificate and grade point average at that time, and contact foreign schools on their own to obtain the opportunity to study abroad. This method includes family immigration, as well as relatives and friends abroad, and the whole learning process is carried out close to the family, basically maintaining the original form in China.

Under such conditions, students have no worries about life, and parents can maintain the most direct supervision and help for students at any time.

The subject is asking about entertainment...

It mainly depends on the fact that you are in the United States**, and the circle of contact...

If the circle you contact is still mostly Chinese, then in fact, your entertainment method is not much different from that in China. Playing cards, board games, mahjong, and games are actually the same as in China. As for KTV, some Chinese have it installed at home, so you can KTV at home.

If it is in a small city, nightclubs are rare, mainly small bars. And then the only difference with China is that maybe we rarely think of cooking as entertainment in China. But because the Chinese restaurants in the United States are really unpalatable, and it is too cheap to make your own.

So a considerable part of the entertainment is to study delicious food with my friends. If you buy a tool rack, make your own barbecue, or go out to the park and find a place to make a barbecue. For example, all kinds of snacks, sugar, small cakes, moon cakes, dumplings, steamed buns, and various ......In China, in fact, when eating is entertainment, it is mainly to go out to dinner, and most of them are do-it-yourself in the United States.

If the circle you contact is not Chinese, then the main entertainment method may be from the American side. For example, if you're an undergraduate, there's all kinds of parties, especially in the summer. When you encounter any important or unimportant festival, you can have a party ( Hi.

Go to the small bar and brag while drinking. Talk about various topics that Americans are interested in, to be honest, many topics, Chinese are not necessarily interested in, nor do they necessarily understand.

One of the questions I often get asked is: Are there places like our Internet cafes and bathing centers abroad? Are there KTV, chess rooms, and teahouses?

I often watch European and American movies, and most of their entertainment is just family gatherings, bars, extreme sports, etc. In Japanese and Korean movies, we can often see Internet cafes, which are familiar entertainment items. So I'm curious what they like to play?

Indeed, the first thing to do when studying in the United States is to quickly adapt to local life, and you must learn the way of leisure and entertainment in the United States, and it will be easier to find a sense of belonging when you follow the local customs and understand the local culture.

In general, students in the U.S. like to get together with friends on weekends to chat, drink, and dance.

However, many universities in the United States are located in rural areas, and some of the recreational facilities for students are small restaurants, clubs and bars around the school.

Most of the people get together at 9 o'clock in the evening, then drink and play some small games in the dormitory, and then go to the bar or club to continue the fun (the nightlife is especially rich and bad laughter).

Sometimes there will be a lot of people in the bar, and everyone will huddle together to dance anyway, and the people around will come over from time to time to talk.

It may be that such a bar is too "lively" for us international students, so there is also a kind of "bar" called the University Club, which is specially opened for college students, so you don't have to worry too much about safety

Of course, in addition to these, they also prefer outdoor activities, they can drive out with friends during the holidays, go to many nearby states (Washington, Oregon, and California, etc.), and then look for all kinds of scenic spots and delicious food, find all kinds of good-looking, shocking stage plays, and constantly discover the new world, you will find that the life of undergraduate study abroad is full of surprises. Especially at the age of studying abroad as an undergraduate, I am full of energy and I don't feel tired when I play crazy.

Of course, if you feel that you don't have enough time to go to a distant place to play in a limited vacation, you can cultivate a variety of outdoor projects, such as rowing, climbing, running, softball, cycling, etc., sweating and living a comfortable life.

Compared with domestic undergraduate students, the entertainment of studying in the United States is still very rich, so Xunhe does not have to worry about being bored and holding back his illness, you can be a quiet rabbit or a wild horse!
